[tranquil torrent]

the inner folder?

[fossil iron]

Jsjsjsjsj

Yes

[rugged fable]

the folder that contains all this

[tired roost]

First JoJoker, not sure which to take

[swift matrix]

More visual information the better imo

[tired roost]

(keep in mind that the colors have to be a bit desaturated to work well in game)

[fossil iron]

The star platinum of the right

[swift matrix]

But I'm a bit of a maximallist

[tranquil torrent]

k thats done

[rugged fable]

and in theory it should work

[fossil iron]

How the vid is near to 100 views

[rugged fable]

the people want to know

[tranquil torrent]

theres no mod tab in game

[fossil iron]

I made that tutorial for a joke

The old tutorials vibes

[rugged fable]

odd, you installed Lovely too right?

[tranquil torrent]

this?

[fossil iron]

No

That dll

Is on the balatro folder

No the mods folder

[tranquil torrent]

i havent done anything with the lovely download except extract all

[fossil iron]

Ok, open that folder

And copy the version.dll

You paste on the folder where is balatro installed

[tranquil torrent]

in mods folder or seperately?

[rugged fable]

elsewhere

[fossil iron]

No, mods folder no

[tranquil torrent]

so like this?

[rugged fable]

wrong place

[fossil iron]

Do this @tranquil torrent

[tranquil torrent]

k ive done that

[rugged fable]

now launch Balatro

once you've put the version.dll in the folder that opened

[tranquil torrent]

woohoo it works thx everyone!

one last question tho is there any way to turn off steamodded and those stuff when i wanna play without mods?

[rugged fable]

I mean I presume if you just remove the version.dll from the Balatro folder it won't load any of that stuff

[swift matrix]

Yeah that should work

[fossil iron]

Lets go

[fossil iron]

Now play pokermon

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1292971421349445785

[tranquil torrent]

LETS GO IT WORKS!

what are some of the most fun mods?

are normal jokers supposed to appear?

[tranquil vessel]

you can disable normal jokers in pokermon's settings I believe?

[tranquil torrent]

yep thx

[rugged fable]

I haven't messed around with finding fun mods but I made a small mod that adds a couple fun custom decks if you want to try it #1298415951062237314 message

[tranquil vessel]

quick list of mods I've seen someone else post before: Cryptid, morefluff, Pokermon, CardSleeves, Bunco, Pampa(port), KCVanilla, Paperback, Familiar, Galdur, SDM_0's Stuff, Ortalab, The World Ends with Jimbo, Reverie, BBBalatro, Faces of Sin, and Grim
or you could try a modpack like https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1255696773599592458 or https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1267720426109272135

[swift matrix]

I have a whole modpack is the ones I play with #1267720426109272135

[swift matrix]

Beat me to my self promotion :p

[tranquil vessel]

no worries, my message was self-promotion too 🤫

[swift matrix]

Hehe

[junior rock]

question, when looking in challenges.lua theres a 'daily' id, has this been talked about before?

its under the test challenge, first one in there.

[tranquil vessel]

thunk has talked about daily challenges before

[junior rock]

i mean specifically what the daily id actually does

as I see no mention of it anywhere else in challenges.lua

[tranquil vessel]

there's some other parts of the code that also reference daily challenges

I'm not sure if the daily ID actually does anything though

[junior rock]

oh my god

there's keyboard mapping

[faint gorge]

this background make this card looking much cooler

[tired roost]

taken directly form the anime equivalent of the mid-page

[faint gorge]

damn, it looks really gooood

by the way, some time ago I saw a Jigsaw (from Saw) joker card and can't find it art of it

or it was deja vu

[junior rock]

gradients my beloved

[runic latch]

Crystal and Poison possible deckskins

that A is not fucking recolored but whatever

[fallen arch]

Guys help, I just downloaded steammodder to try and play the pokermon mod, but I can't get it to work and the customizable face cards stopped working too. Any idea what to do?

[runic latch]

im not particularly the most educated about modding this game, but perhaps you should check some tutorials for steammodder to see if you have done something incorrect

maybe the pokermon github too

[junior rock]

#💻・modding-dev would probably be a better channel to ask

[fast creek]

😅

[summer pivot]

Game crashed when I tried to resume a run with naneinf money

[exotic shadow]

yeah it does that

[summer pivot]

Okay cool just wanted to make sure it was a known issue

Is there any fix?

[exotic shadow]

it's a vanilla bug

I think talisman does a workaround

[summer pivot]

I have talisman

[exotic shadow]

hmm

[summer pivot]

It was working for sure too because I had gotten a score of like 1.5e5064

Which is obvs way more than vanilla

[minor solstice]

is there a quality of life mod? Beacuse i amplaying cryptid and i need to use a lot of jupiters

[lean dune]

there's also some new code relating to dailies, suggesting something is coming in the future

but it doesn't do anything just yet

[lean dune]

there's also a mod that enables it / makes it configurable #1271227371911118848

[lean dune]

#1262697083438235729 Incantation

[twilit stream]

Hey, hope you're doing well. Just wondering if Nexus is the right place to go for Balatro mods, or if there's a more up-to-date place for them.

[grand geode]

absolutely not, you can find all mods in #1209506514763522108 and #1260833176935465063 (albeit slightly outdated)

[twilit stream]

This is why I came. Thank you!

I know a lot of games' modding scenes have huge problems with mod theft via Nexus

[daring sluice]

mod theft..?

[lean dune]

for more mod lists, you can also have a look at the major modpacks #1255696773599592458 #1267720426109272135

[daring sluice]

stealing other peoples code is actively encouraged here so idk what mod theft could be referring to

[lean dune]

wdym?

5. If you include a mod or code from another member of this server you must be able to link to a post within the server where they agree to have their code included in your distribution.

[grand geode]

i'd assume like. literally stealing an entire mod

[daring sluice]

and most people (pretty much everyone) is okay with others looking at their code and have expressed so

[grand geode]

looking at other people's code for reference and copying it and passing it as yours are different

[lean dune]

yeah but that's usually to an extent no one would think to consider stealing, moreso taking inspiration from people's code. When I think of stealing code, I mean literally copying most of it unchanged

[daring sluice]

not really? with this stuff youre pretty much always going to be copying their methods line for line

[junior rock]

thats very different to theft

[lean dune]

not really

[daring sluice]

like i said i dont know what they were referring to when they said "mod theft"

[junior rock]

considering theft is generally non consensual

[twilit stream]

it's copying another user's code/mod and claiming it as one's own

[grand geode]

i mean. if i ever copy a function directly i always have a line like "taken from Cryptid" or something

but also. what harm does it do to copy misc functions lol

[lean dune]

if that happens, it's usually more universal helper functions

[grand geode]

it's more the actual product

[lean dune]

which usually end up in steamodded at some point anyways if they're useful enough

[twilit stream]

Eh, it's not something i'm terribly offended by but I know some people are

Best not cause a fuss

[daring sluice]

its also worth noting that the modding rules are kinda rubbish and everyone knows it

[junior rock]

not really?

[daring sluice]

we all follow them to some extent but if im copying something from cryptid because i didnt know how to do it i am not searching for some message from math saying hes ok with it when i know damn well he is

[twilit stream]

yeah, as long as it's credited it should be fine

Especially if it's a few lines tops

[grand geode]

text rotation in attention_text 👉👈

[lean dune]

there's been cases of people uploading modified (pirated) executables as mods on nexus

[twilit stream]

I'd get permission if I wanted to copy an entire function

[lean dune]

with steamodded included

without attribution

[twilit stream]

lmaoo

[junior rock]

its incredibly easy to just ask though? i dont see what all the fuss is about

[twilit stream]

I'd rather ask than risk controversy

[daring sluice]

theres no fuss, thats the point
having to ask is a fuss

[daring sluice]

"Do not debug source code." - incredibly vague nobody has ever known what this rule meant
"Do not discuss porting Balatro to additional platforms." - iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Playstation, macOS
"Do not redistribute the Balatro source code." - this is practically required to some extent for debugging purposes (e.g. user reports an error, error occurs at some line in main.lua, we need to ask for the full lovely dump of main.lua to actually diagnose which lovely patch causes it)

[lean dune]

no one cares if it's a snippet that you could've just written yourself, I'd say so even if it's some helper function

[junior rock]

it really isnt? its either a single message or just search for like a minute

[twilit stream]

This one mod from another game uses stolen code and assets and has been completely villainized as a result

Most of the content and code is unoriginal and taken without credit

[daring sluice]

again, theres no fuss
was just pointing out its a little silly to have to look for proof of things that are common knowledge

[junior rock]

i dont see what the issue with not discussing porting to other platforms is?

if you care so much about it then just talk about it in other servers?

[lean dune]

I think I understand well enough what this first one means. For context, check this: #1278014865235120188 message
I followed this up with some simple change in the code that would fix the issue

obviously it's still vague af and included to some extent in debugging your own code

[daring sluice]

you love trying to make things a big deal huh

[junior rock]

how am i the one making it a big deal

if anything im doing the opposite

[lean dune]

outside of cases like what I linked to, that rule doesn't matter too much

[daring sluice]

youre portraying it as if its a big deal to me that the rules are silly

which its not

[junior rock]

so then why are you complaining about them

[daring sluice]

i am not complaining

[lean dune]

also we rarely ask for dumps

[daring sluice]

i brought it up as a conversation

the rules are a little silly

[junior rock]

how has this not been you complaining

'have your cake and eat it too'

[daring sluice]

what

are you allergic to like normal conversations we really do not have to have an argument

[lean dune]

...

[daring sluice]

i honestly just wanted to bring up that i think some of the rules are vague overextensive or pointless

in no way did i ever mean to say that the rules being like that is a hinderance to me

[junior rock]

which is, by definition, complaining? you can complain and have a conversation about it, they arent mutually exclusive

[left ivy]

Can anyone explain to me if a frame by frame version of balatro is possible?

[lean dune]

what argument is there to be had? this just sounds like a misunderstanding

[daring sluice]

yeah absolutely

hang on lemme do that for u rq

[lean dune]

surely

[left ivy]

Yayyy

[lean dune]

it runs on an update loop, so I don't see why not

[left ivy]

Ive had a bug idea I wanted to test but it requires inhumane clicking abilities

[left ivy]

Welp, ping me when you finish

[daring sluice]

may or may not have added too many features and made a broken mess

[swift matrix]

That's... in the rules but kinda violates the gpl

Which only requires attribution

[white scarab]

In general I’m okay with people taking small snippets without attribution

But I would prefer it

I remember one time early in modding someone had an incompatibility with Ankh because they copied some part of the code and didn’t even change the ID

[fallow bramble]

I remember all the compat issues when everyone was using Mika's mod as a basis to make their joker mod 😅

[daring sluice]

@left ivy
keybinds are as follows:
6: pauses/unpauses game
7: advances 1 frame
8: toggles a mode that is off by default where time between frames will accumulate while the game is paused, and advancing a frame will run a frame that long (e.g. pause game, wait 1 second, press 7, game will run a frame as if the last one happened 1 second ago. by default frames will run just as fast as you want them to)
9: toggles a mode that is off by default where every single frame will be ran as if that frame took 1/60 of a second to run (overrides 8)

mouse and keyboard inputs are held in a buffer that is released when a frame is advanced

in order to properly handle a mouse input with a ui element you must hover over it for 1 frame before clicking it

e.g. pause game, hover mouse over ui element, advance a frame, click, advance a frame (which will release that click)

lmk if theres any weird bugs

[left ivy]

👍🏻

It does not seem to be pausing

[daring sluice]

odd

i take it you have steamodded and all that installed correctly

[left ivy]

yes, I just got the latest update recently because new update broke my steammodded

[daring sluice]

gotcha

very odd i dont see any reason it wouldnt work unless you had some weird caveat with your numbers

[left ivy]

I do have debug and II know it has some numbers, but it only goes to 3 iirc

let me double check

[daring sluice]

lmk what this prints when you hit 6/7/8/9

[left ivy]

yeah 123 and 89, but not 6 or 7

[daring sluice]

thats incredibly weird huh

lemme see if i screwed something up somehow

ok seems to work fine for me thats very weird

ill just change the keybinds

alright now I pauses the game and O advances a frame but everything else is the same

[left ivy]

Im gonna take out debug mode incase they have something that prevents game stops

[daring sluice]

yeah its prolly a weird incompat im not sure

[minor solstice]

ok

[left ivy]

Dang, still nothing

And this doesnt say that Im triggering anything either

[daring sluice]

oh i deleted the print

[left ivy]

ah ok so thats what that does (I know nothing about modding XD)

[daring sluice]

hm

well in that case i have no clue honestly

[left ivy]

Rip

[daring sluice]

im in bed rn so

can't do much til tomorrow anyways

[left ivy]

Alright

I do have school though so if you do wanna try again it would have to be after that

Who knows, maybe someone else will find the problem by looking at the code themselves, but its very confusing how it works for you but not me

[whole venture]

has anybody else has the steamodded terminal freezing when toggling mods? on steam deck it says caching steam ID after a lot of injecting but I'm wondering if anybody knows about a fix

[swift matrix]

Freezing or just hanging for a couple seconds?

[whole venture]

it's frozen, I had it up for like 30 seconds before i closed it

the game window itself wasn't open yet just the terminal

[tranquil vessel]

you might've accidentally interacted with the terminal?

[junior rock]

^

[tranquil vessel]

on windows, if you highlight/select parts of the terminal, it'll freeze up until unselected

[whole venture]

the underscore was blinking so not like entirely frozen

oh i may have to just unmod it then cause i can't unselect it it's fullscreen

[swift matrix]

Isn't balatro itself what's full screen?

If you're toggling mods

[junior rock]

awesome "feature" in windows. it's great that there's no way to disable it as well

[whole venture]

balatro was closed to restart, usually it'll let me see when both windows are open

I'm in gaming mode on steam deck so it goes fullscreen between both the game and terminal

[junior rock]

ah

[swift matrix]

Well to get around it you can just remove mods from the mods folder when not using them

[tranquil vessel]

it's not the actual program/console that you're selecting, it's the "text" that in the console that you're highlighting

[swift matrix]

Yeah there's that too ofc

[tranquil vessel]

it'll look like this
it will also says Select in the program name, and the cursor does still keep blinking

[junior rock]

genuinely had no idea that it said Select

CS major btw

[whole venture]

as far as i could tell i wasn't clicking anything myself so i figure I'll just have to work around it

it's fullscreen so i couldn't see the title where it would say select

[tranquil vessel]

I only noticed because I took the screenshot lmao

[junior rock]

lol fair

[whole venture]

gonna see if downsizing mods will make it stop doing that since it didn't used to

[tranquil vessel]

hmm, it might not be the "text select" thing then, but something else

[swift matrix]

It might be a mod making it freeze

[fossil iron]

What mods you have rn?

Can you send a screenshot of your mod folder

[tranquil vessel]

if anything would be to blame, my first assumption would be steamodded itself, not a random mod

[whole venture]

active: achievements enabler, eacape exit button, more speed, lotus retexture mod

inactive cryptid, talisman, edition examples

[tranquil vessel]

I'm stupid, what OS does steamdeck run? SteamOS (aka linux) right?

[whole venture]

you know what, it could be the selection thing

I've been using it in touchscreen and the moment I hit exit on the mod menu it switches to the terminal so I bet it's processing me selecting it

steamOS yeah

[fossil iron]

Yeah steamOs

A Arch linux like

[tranquil vessel]

does /Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Balatro/run_lovely.sh make sense as a path on your steamdeck?

[whole venture]

I'm dense as hell mb

while I'm here though i just beat my last gold stake but it didn't do the achievement will i have to do another gold stake or will white do to trigger it?

[fossil iron]

Wait, you are using a steam deck rn

[whole venture]

lemme switch back to desktop mode

[whole venture]

correct

[fossil iron]

You put the WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" %command% right?

[whole venture]

pretty sure i did

i figured out why i think it was bugging though on the terminal freeze

[tranquil vessel]

achievements don't work when using steamodded unless specifically using the re-enable achievements mod

[swift matrix]

Balatro isn't linux native

It's all proton

[whole venture]

I am but it was offline also so I'm wondering if that or having modded decks at the time it triggered messed with it bc i didn't gold stake the mod decks as well

[tranquil vessel]

there's a bug in the basegame where you have to beat 1 more game for the C+ and C++ achievements

any deck, any stake

[whole venture]

noted, thanks muchly

[whole venture]

also it doesn't mine starts with /home/deck/.local/

[swift matrix]

It should be /home/[user]/.steam

Iirc

[fossil iron]

I will check the path rn

[swift matrix]

Though there's symlinks to similar paths

[fossil iron]

Cat

[umbral pilot]

this path is for mac

[tranquil vessel]

Ah. That would make more sense yes

[whole venture]

either way, appreciate y'all's help. take care

[tranquil vessel]

but then... it should've at least ran [path_to_exe] <original args>

[fossil iron]

.local/share/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2379780/pfx/drive_c/users/steamusers/appdata/roaming/balatro

Jesus

Cost me a lot

Found the folder

[swift matrix]

You need to add a launch option on steam

It's on the lovely readme

[fossil iron]

Because ubuntu search is trolling me

[tranquil vessel]

do you have a steamdeck yamper?

[fossil iron]

Ubuntu

[swift matrix]

All Linux is the same for this purpose

[fossil iron]

Wait, are searching the mods folder or the exe folder?

[tranquil vessel]

exe folder

[fossil iron]

Oh no

[fossil iron]

This is for mods

[tranquil vessel]

you don't have to search it up it's fine

[swift matrix]

/common/roaming/balatro in steamapps

I have linux too abd i remember

[fossil iron]

.steam/steam/steamapps/common/balatro

[swift matrix]

.local/share/steam/steamapps/common/Balatro

[swift matrix]

This too

Symlink

[swift matrix]

This is this one I bookmark

[fossil iron]

bookmark this too

[swift matrix]

I do though using the .steam symlink

It's the same steamapps folder

[tranquil vessel]

Would you mind testing the path for me? I can write a quick mod for it

[swift matrix]

Just mounted to multiple paths

[whole venture]

which path we talking

[tranquil vessel]

the path lua thinks the exe is located, 1 sec

[fossil iron]

what path you want? the exe one, or the mods folder one?

nevermind

[whole venture]

my mod folder is in /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2379780/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Balatro/Mods

my game folder is in /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Balatro

[minor solstice]

can yall help?

[tranquil vessel]

could you try adding this mod?

--- STEAMODDED HEADER
--- MOD_NAME: Test
--- MOD_ID: Test

------------MOD CODE END----------------------

[minor solstice]

theses are my mods 🙃

[fossil iron]

reverie

[swift matrix]

Is your reverie from the Repo and not the release?

[minor solstice]

what

i dont understand

[whole venture]

i can try what's it for

[swift matrix]

Autocorrect

[minor solstice]

oh

[swift matrix]

You need to download reviere with the code button not the release?

[minor solstice]

i did that?

[swift matrix]

Oh then it's something else

[minor solstice]

mm

[tranquil vessel]

if I programmed it correctly, it should show wherever balatro/lua thinks the location of your balatro.exe is

when restarting the game

[swift matrix]

What's mjst balatro modpack?

[swift matrix]

We don't use run_lovely.sh on linux

[minor solstice]

smth with artist deck?

idk

[swift matrix]

Did @whole venture add the launch argument?

[minor solstice]

ill remove it

[fossil iron]

Just launch the game, and lovely works

[swift matrix]

You need to do this

[tranquil vessel]

I'm not sure it matters, but we'll find out in a second, cuz the args will also be one of the things it prints

[swift matrix]

But besides that yes

[fossil iron]

A

[swift matrix]

It's 100% neszacary on linux

[whole venture]

yeah I've had it since I installed steamodded

[fossil iron]

If you dont put that, the games dont run

The lovely i mean

[minor solstice]

Removing mjst didnt work

[fossil iron]

Send the new crash DOING CTRL+C and paste here

[minor solstice]

its the same crash

[fossil iron]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-huh-cat-huh-etr-gif-15332443943609734737

[minor solstice]

mods

[swift matrix]

Is steamodded or any of your mods nested?

[minor solstice]

no :/

actually lemme check

[whole venture]

I'm not sure if i did it right copying what you sent and putting it in a .lua in the mod folder with my other mods? but it's not showing up in my modlist

[tranquil vessel]

yup, that's perfect

uhhh it should show up 🤔
1 second please 🙃

[fossil iron]

https://github.com/dvrp0/reverie/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

[swift matrix]

That said that's how they downloaded it, but night wanna retry just to check

[whole venture]

lemme see, the log says about putting stuff in a subdirectory so I'll do that...

still doesn't show

[fossil iron]

Can you try, removing fusion jokers fixed

[tranquil vessel]

try using the file directly maybe?

[whole venture]

will try

[tranquil vessel]

make sure to delete the old one 😅

[whole venture]

it shows now

what next

[tranquil vessel]

perfect :D

[whole venture]

also nice version# lmao

[tranquil vessel]

now disable/enable any mod and pay attention to what it says in the console when restarting

[whole venture]

Z:\home\deck.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Balatro\Balatro.exe

[tranquil vessel]

is that the whole message?

[whole venture]

no just the directory

lemme figure out how to screenshot in desktop on this thing

[swift matrix]

Yeah that sounds right for the patch because lovely is running within the wine environment

[tranquil vessel]

yeah on windows it has at least 1 more argument

[whole venture]

lemme know if you need to see more or anything

also sorry for quality

[tranquil vessel]

haha alright

seems readable enough

[whole venture]

anything else, boss?

[tranquil vessel]

no, don't think so

seems like everything there is working correctly

[whole venture]

Roger that

hmu if y'all need a steam deck guinea pig ig lmao

[tranquil vessel]

yeah I'm not sure why the restart aint working for you

maybe it's the select thing, maybe not

[swift matrix]

Tbh I didn't even know any sort of auto restart was implemented. Maybe it's just a proton thing?

[tranquil vessel]

oh

might be then yeah

the game should automatically restart when exiting the mods menu after disabling/enabling mods

that doesn't work for you @swift matrix?

[swift matrix]

Doesn't seem to in winlator at least. I can try on my actual PC later

@whole venture in any case you can just close the console and restart the game normally. Your changes should save

[tranquil vessel]

hmm okay

[swift matrix]

It seems like not normally fatal errors become so with the restart routine

[swift matrix]

.

[tranquil vessel]

"not normally fatal errors become so"?

[fossil iron]

Larswijn you dont have a linux pc?

[swift matrix]

It must run into that reverse_strength error everytime it boots

But never halts on it

[whole venture]

yeah it does save the changes but it does still freeze most the time whether i use gamepad or touchscreen to edit the mod screen causing the restart

[tranquil vessel]

oh that's just a warning it doesn't actually break anything

[swift matrix]

Butt it halted on it for the restart

Which is my point

[tranquil vessel]

I've had it in the past, but I like my games more :)

[tranquil vessel]

isn't that just a coincidence? it is missing the steamid cache thing for some reason

[fossil iron]

Lol

Valorant?

Fortnite?

[tranquil vessel]

valo

and some random other stuff

[swift matrix]

Halted at the same time on a different try

[swift matrix]

And that's because it's in winlator, no steam running

But balatro lacks drm so I don't think that matters. Mods otherwise work just fine

[tranquil vessel]

so does it start rebooting then break on that warning or does it not print anything and just sit there?

[swift matrix]

The firsr one. This is during an aborted reboot sequence

The game widow closed abd judging from previous output it was starting to reboot

[tranquil vessel]

Huh, weird. I assumed those messages were from the previous boot

[swift matrix]

Hmm lemme try again and check timestanps

[swift matrix]

You're right so nvm

Is a coincidence

Timestamps match the first boot

[tranquil vessel]

yeah the missing steam cache threw me off

wasn't sure whether it was from the first boot or not

If yall are interested. I'm starting to put together a mod surg suits abd now stuff. There's gonna be 4 all new suits, as well as jokers and other things. Planning a modular approach. The overall mod is called Poor Raccoon's Fortune, with the module with the new suits abd their supporting Jokers, etc called StupidSuits

#1298894429159166043 message
Got a poll going atm on how to handle the suits by default

[rugged fable]

oops

[swift matrix]

Lol that's a tight blind

[junior rock]

what i like about this is that there's a potential benefit

reinvented serpent

[rugged fable]

lol it's not nearly as beneficial as the serpent

[swift matrix]

Tbh i don't like blinds that punish overscoring

[rugged fable]

I can't buy anymore jokers

[junior rock]

sometimes you cant not overscore

[swift matrix]

Just cheat and delete your cards with r :p

Debugplus

[rugged fable]

nah I'm trying to see what a normal run with my mods on feels like rn

[swift matrix]

Tbh I think more jokers and stuff should reward it. We all wanna score big afterall

[swift matrix]

Very fair

[rugged fable]

and yeah I might increase the cap back to double instead of 50% more

[rugged fable]

Also my main intent was to make some kind of blind where the penalty for messing up is making your jokers eternal, so if you have other suggestions for what I could punish I’m listening

[swift matrix]

Maybe when you play your second hand?

Kinda the opposite thing to punish

[rugged fable]

That’s one idea

[minor solstice]

dude im sorry

my brother was in the hospital

i had to visit him

sorry for leaving ya hanging

also the ussue was tmj

[rugged fable]

modded runs be like

[swift matrix]

And then you play it anyway because hoarding money in balatro is lame :p

[rugged fable]

yeah I mean I don't really have a choice I don't have a reroll voucher

I got insanely lucky tho with natural negatives

and this is what my deck looks like (read the deck ability)

[swift matrix]

Why do many clubs? Is that the suit you started with or smth?

[rugged fable]

I just keep getting them

[swift matrix]

Lol very fair

[rugged fable]

I mean the card generation is basically just "here's the next 2 standard pack cards enjoy"

[swift matrix]

I mean yeah that sounds about right

[rugged fable]

my money after it being set to $0

I played a hand with 4 gold seals

[swift matrix]

Making money back is so easy in balatro

Hence why I don't hoard it

Blow my wad almost every shop

[rugged fable]

except when it isn't

[swift matrix]

That's when you just hold r ngl

[rugged fable]

lolll

[swift matrix]

I start every game by rerolling the ante 1 tags for good econ tags and then double skipping

[rugged fable]

yeah I mean that's one way to ensure good econ

yeah this run started off as me just testing if I successfully refactored my blinds but then I turned off the debug mod and I'm just playing this straight

[swift matrix]

I don't do anything straight

[rugged fable]

woo

[pearl moat]

I use modified suit colors; this doesn't actually require modding the game, just replacing a PNG, but I notice that text still uses the original colors. Is it possible to make this match also without mods, or will that require modifying the game?

[exotic shadow]

I mean technicaly modifiying a PNG is still modifying the game. However, you can get away by editing the code, although code edits like that will get wiped by updates and a lovely patch is recommended

[swift matrix]

Editing files in the exe is still modding

[junior rock]

'r for unc tag into holo' deck

[swift matrix]

Just manually

[junior rock]

yeah its definitely still modding

[exotic shadow]

but you can edit the colours in global.lua search for SO_1

there should be 3 sets of colours for the suits

not entirely sure when which are used

[swift matrix]

I'd lean towards a steamodded mod myself, but that's mostly because I already play modded and am more comfortable (read: lazy) using an api rather than a regex style patch

Not sure smodded can egged su that though ngl

Lovely is probably the better bet

[exotic shadow]

I mean it would be one patch per colour but yeah steamodded can do it as well

but also lovely is less intrusive if you don't want to play modded

[swift matrix]

Yeah that's very fair

I just like... scripting I guess? And not having to worry about where it's inserted. Even if I would be using vanilla functions through smodded

If that makes any sense

[exotic shadow]

I mean in this case yu would just replace the definitions

[swift matrix]

nods

I'm learning as I go, too adhd to read through the Lua docs unless I'm stuck, lol

I stg when my mod is made it'll rival in 🍝

[vital wind]

I cannot get steammodded to work, I’ve tried doing a full fresh install and no matter what I do it just crashes. Does anyone know if the newest update to either the game or to lovely are incompatible

[exotic shadow]

they are compatible

what is the crash

[swift matrix]

Nah it should be fine

[vital wind]

It won’t launch. The standard lovely works, it pulls up its pre-game screen just fine, when it tries to use steammodded it shows it applying xyz to files as normal and then my screen goes black the loading bar never shows and the game won’t open

I can get an image for the exact lovely screen but I’m so confused

[exotic shadow]

how long are you waiting for?

[vital wind]

Longest was 10 minutes or so

[swift matrix]

And you're trying to use 1.0/ the alpha right?

[vital wind]

Correct

[swift matrix]

What does your mods folder look like?

And the steamodded folder in it?

[exotic shadow]

Also can we see the lovely log

[vital wind]

Yeah lemme just try and log into discord on my computer I typically don’t use it on there

[iron onyx]

😤

finally, got a stable version of numbalatro out there

[vital wind]

lovey code

I've changed name to remove the - and to change it to 1.0.0 as well

[exotic shadow]

thats odd

there is a newer version of lovely, I don't think the old version would cause this, but it's probably worth updating and seeign

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector/releases/tag/v0.6.0

[vital wind]

oh wait

I did update lovely?? im just now noticing this.

[exotic shadow]

did you put the version.dll in the right spot?

[swift matrix]

And in the steamodded folder is the steamodded repo files directly?

Not another folder called steamodded?

[vital wind]

yes.

[exotic shadow]

the patches would fail if they were nested

or well wouldn't be loaded

[vital wind]

update: i reupdated lovely, still same deal

[exotic shadow]

where are you putting the version.dll?

[swift matrix]

It'd still patch in the wrong place?

[vital wind]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Balatro

[exotic shadow]

yeah thats right

[exotic shadow]

no but the old one still would

[swift matrix]

Balatro is 32 bit? Why does it require a 64 bit cpu?

[vital wind]

yeah, the lovely menu comes up, i think the update reverted when i reinstalled the first time, i had cloud files on, turned that off when i realized it was not doing what i wanted it to, reinstalled

(lovely update)

[swift matrix]

Defender isn't doing something weird right? Make sure you have that exe folder whitelisted

[exotic shadow]

I don't think it would cause this

[swift matrix]

Me neither tbh

[exotic shadow]

I looked at my logs and after that patch it normally starts the debug socket. Wonder if the socket is somehow getting stuck

[vital wind]

I am completely deleting and fresh installing once more to double check no older/ prexisting files are causing conflicts

if the lovely file got through on the first one it doesnt hurt to try again

also its important to note both Lovely and Stock balatro run great

[swift matrix]

And you didn't remove anything from the steamodded folder, right?

[vital wind]

Nope

I tried removed the git files after I ran into the error before but re installed the whole file after

[swift matrix]

And you're launching through steam like normal?

[vital wind]

Yep

[swift matrix]

Sorry for all the silly questions

[vital wind]

No worries I’m not pressed I understand y’all are trying to help and I appreciate it a lot

[exotic shadow]

could you try something for me?

[vital wind]

Absolutely

[exotic shadow]

Go into your steamodded folder > debug > open debug.lua in a text editor (like notepad) and then delete line 6 (client = socket.connect("localhost", 12345)). Then save and restart balatro

[vital wind]

Holy shoot

I wasn’t sure on the subs swearing policy

but that WORKED

[exotic shadow]

I'm glad that worked

wonder why that would get stuck

@lean dune do you have any idea about that?

Also does anyone actually use the debug socket?

[swift matrix]

If the automod lets you say it and you aren't being a dick to anyone, you're good

[iron onyx]

i think that's vestigial coding

from back when there wasn't a built-in logger

[exotic shadow]

I know what it is and why it exists

but I'm wondering if we should keep it

[swift matrix]

Weird ip config?

[exotic shadow]

I wonder if something listening on that port coudl screw it up

I put a nc instance and it didn't freeze

[swift matrix]

Apparently they use cloud stuff? So maybe that's related

[exotic shadow]

no it shouldn't do anything

unless it was listening on port 12345

[swift matrix]

Fair

[vital wind]

What’s particularly puzzling is the fact that , I had a dozen or so mods before, and didn’t add or change any devices in my home… it was only upon returning and updating that it caused an issue

Idk above my pay grade yall are the savvy ones here I just wanna play my pokermon

Appreciate the help. Thank y’all

I can say with almost absolute certainty I would have ever though to look there

[iron onyx]

aaaaaaaanyway

[rugged fable]

the latest edition of the serpent

[novel wave]

its not..?

[swift matrix]

Did Windows change what "Progam Files (x86)" means?

[novel wave]

thats just where steam is

steam by default installs all the games inside of itself

[swift matrix]

and I guess they dump their exes there too. fair enough

it just looked off to me

surprised the steam client is even 32 bit

[novel wave]

afaik balatro is 64bit but due to being so moddable it should be easy to get it running on 32bit

[swift matrix]

I kinda just thought there might be seperate steamapps folders in each "program files" folder

[swift matrix]

yeah the newest version of love is stil on x86_32

[novel wave]

although now that i think about it

modding rule 1 question mark ?

🤔

curious question but its just semantics i think rule 4 clears it up

[lean dune]

absolutely not

[lean dune]

not that I'm aware of, it's mostly just debugplus being used I think

[swift matrix]

is there a win32 version of Lovely though?

[novel wave]

idk never looked into it that deep (doubt my 32bit machine can handle balatro so didnt bother trying it)

[swift matrix]

oh yeah that remids me

[pearl moat]

sure, how difficult would editing the suit text colors be though?

[swift matrix]

it'd be trivial, I just don't know either lovely or smodded (or the codebase of balatro itself to do it thatt way) enough to show ya

it's like a couple lines of code for each color afaik

wait I do know how to do it in smodded

it'd be this for each suit

colors are hex colors

ignore the extranous space

all you'd need if you had steamodded set up is that in a .lua file in your mods folder with a header in this format

ofc you could do it in lovely without setting up all the modding stuff

I'll just let other people explain that

[west hill]

You can also just change the values in the table without using lovely

[swift matrix]

yeah, but some people prefer not to use steamodded, I don't think the user in question plays with mods

unless you mean just editing the exe

which yeah they did that for the atlas already

i just don't know what or where the code is to tell them

[sleek wharf]

hey chat i need your help. i wanna make my own sprites for the face cards is that possible?

i dont really need to make a mod of it i just wanna make sprite for the face cards

[swift matrix]

yes, there's already a mod to handle that too #1284376286789111940

[sleek wharf]

but if someone can help me showcase it in gameplay thatd be nice

(im on mobile so no mods for me)

[sleek wharf]

dang thats awesome

is there like, the way to get the sprites of the face cards so i have like a thing to base my sprites off of

[swift matrix]

yeah, unzip the exe (yes you can just do that) and they're in /resources

[sleek wharf]

ah dang is that a pc only thing?

[swift matrix]

are you on like mac, or mobile?

[sleek wharf]

mobile

[swift matrix]

ah yeah mobile is a no go for modding unforutnately

more of a server rule than a technical limitation

[sleek wharf]

so heres my game plan:
get sprites for face cards to use as a reference
make my own face cards
give them to someone to add in deckskins+
make them do a straight flush with A K Q J 10

[sleek wharf]

yeah, im aware of that rule

[sleek wharf]

i feel like the straight flush is probably gonna be the hardest part of this

[swift matrix]

I have no qualms just sending the playing card atlas

[sleek wharf]

LETS GOOOO

[swift matrix]

nah, not with debugplus, they can just spawn the right cards in

[sleek wharf]

i did a poll on Daily PVZ on what thing to mix with PVZ on the next Crossover Hit and PVZ x Balatro won

which is why i needed to make sprites

thank you so much!

[swift matrix]

yw :3

[sleek wharf]

oh btw do you have the high contrast version as well?

[swift matrix]

yeah, one sec :3

here it is :3

I'll still never understand why HC clubs are blue and not green

all the clubs stuff is green

oh wait

red-green color blindness

due

but there's also blue-yellow?

[sleek wharf]

OH MY GOD

IT HAS A GRADIENT

fuck my life

[swift matrix]

I wasn't sure if the gradient on HC was just a shader or on the file tbh, lol

[sleek wharf]

definitely not just a shader

my piskel is dying

[swift matrix]

oof

[iron onyx]

there we go. feels good to finally have a (hopefully) stable version of my mod for people to play.

[swift matrix]

ayyy lookin good

[sleek wharf]

made it sort of "blend in"

friends of jimbo updates if they were peak:

[tired roost]

JoJokers idea

"Jumpin Jacks Flash"

All ranks give 1 chip basically, all cards retrigger as many times as they would normally give chips (A retriggers 11 times, JQK retrigger 10 times)

(JoJo power: this stand can turn off gravity, and has wrist-guns that can shoot scrap by spinning)

[sleek wharf]

quene of hearts done

[sleek wharf]

all heart face cards done

i think i might add a brand new color to the mix

[grand geode]

oh that's pvz

[sleek wharf]

im drawing this nerd for Jack of Clubs

and i might need some more greens

this is the only "green" in the color palette and it just doesnt work for this plant LOL

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector/releases/download/v0.6.0/lovely-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip this link is for lovely

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/archive/refs/heads/main.zip and this for steamodded

[random flint]

i did that and it didnt work

[neon basalt]

I have the same problem

[tranquil vessel]

you're both gonna have to do better than "didn't work" if you want help

[neon basalt]

i don't know how to "install" custom decks

the .lua file

[fossil iron]

what deck you want install

[random flint]

i did what that giude told me and nothing happend in the game

[neon basalt]

For now only ace in the hole and absolute decks

[tranquil vessel]

did you get lovely/version.dll?

[fossil iron]

HERE IS LOVELY

[random flint]

idk whats that even is

i just got whatever was in that giude

[tranquil vessel]

you're still going to need lovely, it's in the link Yamper gave

[random flint]

added that file, nothing changed

[tranquil vessel]

no console when launching the game?

[random flint]

it just launches normally

[tranquil vessel]

alright, show me where you put version.dll

[buoyant sierra]

(binding of isaac spotted)

[tranquil vessel]

Yeah that is... not where that's supposed to be

you can follow the steps here to see where you need to put it: https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#windows--proton--wine

[random flint]

now it works thx

[tired roost]

and now we also have The World

looked a bit off, so i fixed it

[tranquil torrent]

heres a fun mod idea: its basically so you can do whatever you want so you can create a deck in game and add whatever jokers you want and just basically do anything you want

[tired roost]

thats already a thing

modders use it to test their new jokers is various situations

[grizzled apex]

what tools are you guys using to make your joker sprites? I haven't messed with pixel art at all but want to make some assets

[swift matrix]

I use aseprite personally

[grizzled apex]

I'll check it out thanks!

after checking it out... anyone use a free one? 😅

[swift matrix]

It / is/ free. You just need to complie it yourself. I understand if you're not techy enough to bother though

[rigid jewel]

There's also forks for Aseprite that are free iirc

[swift matrix]

Not sure that's a thing anymore as it's no longer under an actual oss license

It's just source available and they 'let' you compile it because well... that's impossible not to let you do, lmao

[swift matrix]

In any case, here's the github. And I know of a Windows build script if you wanna try to get it working

https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite

[daring sluice]

apparently with not just yet if you somehow get negative hands you can just... keep playing forever

this is very funny

looks like someone should have made a <= instead of ==

[daring sluice]

real!

nvm

its an incompat

works with 0 hands too

lol

[swift matrix]

Did you know there's actually more uncommons than commons in the main game?

so maybe stop giving us so many op commons setting things to common rarity has multiple downsides

[rigid jewel]

Keeps me from getting Hanging Chad/Photocard combo every run so definitely a good thing

xdd

Damn. Thunk really is Canadian

[tranquil vessel]

article in case anyone else would like to read it

[gentle osprey]

Is there a way to disable different cards from showing up? like a mod?

[swift matrix]

Live specific jokers? Or consumables? Or both?

[gentle osprey]

Jokers

Also i disabled talisman and it was the biggest mistake

Didnt know how to reinable it

So i deleted the mods and reinstalled them and now i literally cant use mods ever again for some reason

Its talking about achievements or something and its just not working

Nvm, fixed it

For some reason it didnt transfer like, half the files XD

[dreamy nexus]

hey does anyone know where i can get specific info about how the base game works? like for example the probability of planets appearing once you buy the planet merchant voucher? or like does the hone voucher interact with negatives in any way? is there some place i can find info like this? im not a mod maker but im super curious lol

[gentle osprey]

For some reason, cards dont show the giving chips animation

How do i turn it back on?

[grand geode]

talisman/nopeus settings

[gentle osprey]

Where is that located?

[grand geode]

normal settings menu

[gentle osprey]

This?

Wait, found it

Thank you sm ^w^

We uh... fucking... (lol) allow swearing

[runic latch]

oh

[left ivy]

Yeah, its allowed but discouraged

[runic latch]

I assume they dont want us to use it as an insult, which is fine by me

[swift matrix]

Yeah basically

I've never seen anyone reprimanded for swearing

Just don't be a dick basically

[runic latch]

oki doki

anyways time to fucking swear like a fucking sailor

[swift matrix]

Sounds like me, lol

[fallow bramble]

Cryptid got plenty of those sadly

[grizzled apex]

got it running! thanks for the suggestion

[gentle osprey]

i have a glass card

Its going to be replayed 64 times

And it gives X17 mult

[swift matrix]

Ayyy nice

[left ivy]

@daring sluice the thing from yesterday worked after redownloading steammodded, lovely, and verifying files and stuff

[daring sluice]

odd

well nice

[left ivy]

I think it was more of an oversight on my end

its just weird that my debug mode was working when I was missing parts of steammodded and stuff

[tardy sierra]

High Card.

[swift matrix]

Absolutely thrashed card

[umbral pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-and-jerry-slammed-body-slam-held-by-the-whiskers-gif-16853509

chad retriggering the high card

[real gorge]

speaking of high card

how does one quantify this number

[umbral pilot]

x^3.291^687, right?

[real gorge]

damn finally crashed

i don't think wario is what did it but fuck it might've

[formal wedge]

that's a bigger number than there are planets in the solar system

[real gorge]

i think that was the highest i ended up getting before it crashed

[swift matrix]

Technically x*10 not x

But yes

[umbral pilot]

I set x = x_1 * 10

so I'm still right

[white scarab]

Nope!

10^(3.291*10^687)

[umbral pilot]

your math notation means nothing to me

[white scarab]

It’s all fun and games until I put a # in there

[brisk seal]

It’s all fun and games until I put a ## in there

[umbral pilot]

I love macros

[daring sluice]

only 2 smh

rookie numbers...

[brisk seal]

not in balatro

[umbral pilot]

talisman honestly doesn't go high enough

[daring sluice]

you could make talisman just spit out gibberish for your score past a certain point and 99% of people would never notice

[umbral pilot]

I feel like the next logical step is to figure out why Balatro dies

only then can we push past omeganum

speaking of which - stack recursion? event loop get too big? there's gotta be a reason

[daring sluice]

i dont believe it has anything to do with the events

mainly because when i did my shit bruce-forced method of spamming the GC it worked and events are like, stored entirely in global space

[white scarab]

Memory tbh

The way it stores things is naturally inefficient

[umbral pilot]

does the game compute the value arithmetically?

[white scarab]

Without disable anims it has to compute how to PLAY OUT EVERY ANIMATION

And store them all in memory as it happens

[umbral pilot]

people complain about the animations but it's fine. 2x is enough with Cryptid

[white scarab]

Even with that, I’d imagine event queue overload is the core cause of the crashing

But it needs testing

[umbral pilot]

if it was purely compute-related mem overhead then you could pass it off to lovely. native will always be more mem efficient

but if it's not that then haha

[daring sluice]

i wouldnt pass it off as impossible i guess

youd know more than me haha

[twilit stream]

Sorry to bother but is there any setting I can toggle to help deal with lag? There's a bit of issues with it

[umbral pilot]

cryptid?

[twilit stream]

Yep, knew that was the issue

[umbral pilot]

do you have everything unlocked on your profile?

[twilit stream]

No, I don't

[daring sluice]

lemme see if events are like horrifically obviously inefficient with memory anywhere

[swift matrix]

There's a bug either in smods or the base game where some event queues don't clear

[white scarab]

If there’s a million of them…

doesn’t matter

[twilit stream]

I've noticed. Any way to force it?

[white scarab]

Ideally with Talisman you want almost none active for scoring

[umbral pilot]

but then people crash with animations off

[swift matrix]

Night be possible with debugplus until it gets fixed

[umbral pilot]

you could try hitting the unlock all button

that solved the lag for me

[white scarab]

That or a “joker-stacking” mod to just minimize the number of calculations

[twilit stream]

Oh, darn. I liked unlocking everything slowly.

[umbral pilot]

and some sort of async compute would be good too so Windows doesn't think the game died

[swift matrix]

#1228149931257237664 message

[umbral pilot]

no async == no messages getting pumped to windows

[twilit stream]

oh neat, thanks for verifying. I'll figure it out- thanks again

[umbral pilot]

could even delegate compute to a separate native process

[daring sluice]

the thing i found odd about the memory issue is that it didnt seem to be a linear thing at all, it was more that after a certain point the memory usage inexplicably bloomed out of control (as in at one point with a shit ton of retriggers everything was fine but just doubling the amount of said retriggers would cause said ballooning)

[umbral pilot]

it would probably be good to collect metrics on mem usage and ops/s. that way you can determine if they're strongly correlated

since there's a chance that something within the score calc stops the gc from cleaning up

[daring sluice]

afaik wilson tried implementing luajits memory profiler and its apparently hard as fuck

that or tedious

unsure which

so considering that it might not even turn up very useful info, i dont think its worth trying if its that time consuming

[umbral pilot]

I mean it could legit just be exponential growth caused by events adding events which add events etc. etc.

that would blow the heap up quick

@exotic shadow when are you getting around to rewriting Balatro?

[daring sluice]

you def dont need memory profiling to check for this though

[umbral pilot]

it's definitely not necessary if it's that simple

[daring sluice]

i dont have hope for ever figuring out a sole cause for the issue

at least not myself, ive already tested the like 20 things i came up with back when i cared

none of which were the issue

[daring sluice]

balatro fangame except its just the exact same thing rewritten

[umbral pilot]

target = "game.lua"
pattern = "*"
payload = ""

[swift matrix]

Fan clones are kinda based ngl

[daring sluice]

who needs the game anyways

[formal wedge]

balnotro

[umbral pilot]

well then it must be one of the n - 20 things that you didn't consider

so maybe try harder?

\s

[daring sluice]

lol

[swift matrix]

And it's in pygame, just because

Lol

[formal wedge]

😨

[daring sluice]

99% of balatro modders quit before finding the pit Thunk threw my memory in

[umbral pilot]

getting a minimally reproducible save with as few jokers as possible would be nice

[formal wedge]

a new balatro fangame that actually just opens the steam page for balatro

[swift matrix]

No but what if its in love2d and black-box reverse enginerred to be compatible with existing mods?

[umbral pilot]

why use love2d when you have raw opengl

[daring sluice]

what if it was just a retrigger api issue this whole time

[umbral pilot]

I mean my bet is that retriggers are smashing the heap via the event queue

and that you can't really do anything about it without a recursion cap

[exotic shadow]

After I get around to writing the DebugPlus readme

[umbral pilot]

treat a readme like code comments

dont need it

[formal wedge]

readme.txt
"thanks!"

[umbral pilot]

[[patches]]
[patches.regex]
target = "readme.txt"
pattern = "*"
position = "at"
payload = ""

fixed that for you

[neat dome]

Is anybody else getting this message when trying to open Balatro, even without any mods being active?

[formal wedge]

new mod idea: balatro accesses your webcam and whenever the fool tarot card appears it has your face on it

[exotic shadow]

one of your save files is corrupt

I belive the profile one

[copper knot]

I wish I could play the plasma deck but with random cards and suits of the erratic deck

[copper knot]

Yooooo!

I'm downloading this first thing when I get on my computer

[copper knot]

Thank you so much

[vagrant arch]

If I go through the process to download the Cryptid mod, will that affect my current save?

Does the steammodded injection create a new one or something?

[swift matrix]

We don't use the injector anymore. Unless you mean lovely. She no it never did. Your save is kinda at risk. You might wanna back it up if you care(easiest way is first to copy a copy of your balatro app data folder elsewhere)

[vagrant arch]

Do I lose the ability to get steam achievements then

[swift matrix]

There is an achievements enabler mod but I'm not sure it's working fur everyone

[vagrant arch]

Well my thing is I don't want to get them with the mods enabled, I just want them on my vanilla save

So is that just innate to playing with mods or is that a concern

Assuming I back up my save which I will

[swift matrix]

So that shouldn't be an issue then. They're disabled by default

Just restore your old save and move your mods out of your mods folder (inckuding smodded itself) when you want to play vanilla again

And you should get achievements like nothing happened

[iron onyx]

i genuinely hope people are enjoying my mod

[swift matrix]

I'll play it soon. Tbh bumping your own mod thread might get more buzz going

[iron onyx]

with an @here or something?

[swift matrix]

I still kinda wish I could disable (some of?) The reworks. The ones I don't love aren't even jokers I'd use, but I kinda have to think about it in my modpack too

[swift matrix]

Yeah, posting the thread here would help and so would just posting in the thread tbh

[iron onyx]

yeah, fair. hope people take a look at #1226055105204453428

[swift matrix]

People do watch #1209506514763522108 for activity

[sleek wharf]

club face cards done

[swift matrix]

Ayyy

[sleek wharf]

Sun Bean

[novel wave]

will sunflower be queen 🥺

[versed bough]

will this be ds+ compatible?

[summer pivot]

With Cryptid, why does playing on infinite deck with Effarcire and selecting every card in your base deck make a flush house?

You don’t actually even need to select your full base deck just 4 aces, 4 kings, 4 queens, 4 jacks, and a ten

[swift matrix]

it contains a Flush and a Full House, that's how the hand calculation seems to work

and flush house takes priority because it's highest on the hand list (I think)

[summer pivot]

Yeah the only higher is flush five but you can’t make that with the base deck

Tho that would mean that I could select like 5 random heart cards and then make a five of a kind with spades, clubs, and diamond and it would count as a flush five?

[swift matrix]

yes, afaik

[summer pivot]

Weird

Thanks tho

[swift matrix]

[balmy zealot]

Trying to override create_card with new code and this comes up. What do?

[swift matrix]

that sounds like it'd break... everything

but in any case this just looks like a syntax error

[balmy zealot]

Seems like nothing out of the ordinary

[swift matrix]

well I indeed don't see an end

[sleek wharf]

I have decided to sprite new plants for jacks

Beans just dont work well

[swift matrix]

but also it seems to lack the actual create card logic? unless this is a lovely patch that just adds those lines to the beggining

[tranquil vessel]

any reason you're full overwriting instead of hooking btw?

[balmy zealot]

This is the full code

[balmy zealot]

Hooking?

[tranquil vessel]

also known as function wrapping?

[sleek wharf]

No clue, i'll just send the full sprites later when im done and ask someone to make it deckskins+ thibg

Since i dont have access to modding

And arguably the hardest part of this thing: having someone play the mod and get a Royal Flush in every suit to showcase the cards

[balmy zealot]

I saw it was how Cryptid did it. Cryptid is what I'm basing the code to make cards always (insert edition here) on

[grand geode]

easiest part since that can be debugged

[sleek wharf]

Oh yeah i forgot

[grand geode]

cryptid does not override create_card either afaik

it wraps the function

[tranquil vessel]

I thought it did overwrite create_card

[grand geode]

did it

[tranquil vessel]

-- We're modifying so much of this for Brown and Yellow Stake, Equilibrium Deck, etc. that it's fine to override...
function create_card(_type, area, legendary, _rarity, skip_materialize, soulable, forced_key, key_append)
seems to

[balmy zealot]

yep!

[grand geode]

blegh

okay scrap that

[tranquil vessel]

hooking/wrapping

function original()
    return "hi"
end

local original_ref = original
function original()

    -- code before func call

    local result = original_ref()

    -- code after func call
    result = result .. " there"  -- such as this

    -- make sure to return the same expected type as the original
    return result
end

and you should really not be overriding unless absolutely necessary

[balmy zealot]

👍

[tranquil vessel]

so just use the hooking/wrapping method instead

[balmy zealot]

This causes an infinite loop

[grand geode]

local card = create_card_ref(...)

[tranquil vessel]

use the reference

also this is more #💻・modding-dev stuff

[balmy zealot]

ah, oops

thanks!

[versed bough]

made my first decks skins plus skin; Diamonds as Coins

the face cards are Yen, Euro and Dollar

[noble dragon]

Can someone help me, how do you get mods to work, the lovely version.dll file deletes itself when i start the game?

[swift matrix]

Windows Defender monched it

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started#about-anti-virus-issues

here's how to deal with that

[noble dragon]

thanks

It works now

[fossil iron]

Congrats

[sleek wharf]

:3

[swift matrix]

ayyy very cool

[fossil iron]

Woah

[sleek wharf]

friends of jimbo if it was peak

[glossy sequoia]

woahh cool PVZ cards omg- amazing art <3

[fossil iron]

You will release the texture pack?

[sleek wharf]

yeah i need someone to make a video showcasing royal flushes with it

[sleek wharf]

thanks! this is for Daily PVZ's occasional Crossover Hit; we draw PvZ combined with other media

in the poll, pvz x balatro won by a landslide

[glossy sequoia]

huhh, right! thats very cool!

I'm new around here but woahhh

[fossil iron]

Take this meme

[novel wave]

wouldnt sunflower be queen though

[swift matrix]

@lean dune crash when hovering over mods button

after initial game start to be specific. I hadn't quit out of a run

[tranquil vessel]

are you sure that's not one of your mods? 🤔

[swift matrix]

i mean it might not be steamodded itself, but it wasn't happening before the smods update

maybe it's having issues with trance?

[lean dune]

was there an alert on the mods button?

[swift matrix]

not that I remember. And on reboot, I could hover over and click the mods button (and my Trance theme fully applied?) but then I got a same looking crash when I went to open options

[lean dune]

might be trance then, can't repro the crash and i don't have it on

[swift matrix]

@white scarab any ideas?

[keen igloo]

13/22 done, I might redo the wheel of fortune later.

[white scarab]

Try without Trance

iirc Trance never deletes any color variables so I don’t think it’s the cause, but doesn’t hurt to test

[swift matrix]

same crash without Trance

all from just mousing around the title screen

@lean dune is it somehow maybe the... international... spelling?

[lean dune]

idk but I'm not getting crashes

so uh just bisect your modlist or whatever, idk what's at fault
